Chelsea fans are organizing a protest against the club’s management, scheduled for January 17, before the match against Brentford in the Premier League, according to information from Yahoo UK. The mobilization reflects growing dissatisfaction with the decisions of BlueCo, the group that has managed the club since 2022, led by Behdad Eghbali and Todd Boehly.

Despite achievements such as the Conference League and the Club World Cup last season, the Blues have not competed for the Premier League title under the current management, which has prioritized signing young players. The 2-1 defeat to Fulham on Wednesday intensified the protests: banners calling for BlueCo to leave were displayed, and chants against the owners echoed through the stands.

A survey by the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust with around 4,000 fans revealed that more than 80% do not trust the club’s sporting structure to ensure success in the coming years. Only 1% considers the management well organized.

The new coach, Liam Rosenior, who arrives after managing Strasbourg, will make his debut on Saturday in the FA Cup against Charlton Athletic.
